You're never too old to be a dinosaur, making indie games.

Update on this - I had a non-payment dragging out for months, tried reaching out to both Itch and PayPal, resulting in only frustration.

Did the below, put in a new ticket, and got the payment within a few hours. Definitely worth checking this is you've had a failed payment!

CaptainD @captaindisaster.bsky.social · 7d

**Note to any developer on Itch** - go to Account Settings > Payment Processors - if you're linked to the legacy service, remove this and re-connect to PayPal.

If like me you've been on Itch forever, you may be on the legacy connection and payout attempts may fail.

Reminder for myself to redimension snake length ints (after eating the green pill immediately after this screenshot, the length doubled and crashed the game by exceeding limits)

Otherwise, this game's coming along quite well in bits and bobs.

Also just want to say a big thank you to the Itch team for the vastly improved incident reporting feature on the site.

CaptainD @captaindisaster.bsky.social · 7d

I found this out by accident after failing to get a resolution to a query - both Itch and PayPal said it was the other side causing the issue.

(I don't know for sure this is what caused the issue, but it's one hell of a coincidence!)

I've made a little progress with my Snake game, slow partly because I've been ill this week, but got the 2-player mode working, added some customisability to the game and a smattering of power ups / downs. Still a fair amount of bug-fixing to do before I consider a release.

I just don't have the time and energy to complete this project so I'm not adding more episodes, but dropping the price to reflect the 5 episodes that are available.

3 years?!?

Somehow I thought it was more recent... but also more far away...

Perhaps *that's* the true mystery of Monkey Island!

Anyway, played it and enjoyed it. Wasn't sure I'd like the graphics much but once I saw them in-game, I loved them.
